The trackless trolleys shown appear to be either from Indianapolis or possibly Chicago. The only trackless trolleys in the New York City area were found in Brooklyn. The original line from the early 1930's {Cortelyou Road} used Pullman-Standard and Twin Coach trackless trolleys. Post war, the N. Y. Board of Transportation purchased a fleet of trackless trolleys from the St. Louis Car Company. No Marmon Herrington trackless trolleys ever operated in the New York City area.
The closest a Marmon Herrington trackless trolley ever got to New York City was in Philadelphia. The first fleet of Marmons in Philly were purchased in 1949.

Some footage must have been added after the stated copyright year of 1941. The launch of a German V2 rocket is shown, which at that point was still under development and not yet used against England. Also, there is jet with US Air Force insignia which was probably added after World War II.
